As always I’ll be doing my best to avoid those locations.

There are a couple spots in Highlandtown where I grew up like the appliance repair shop and the port bar where the Greeks hung out that are within walking distance from the new house.

@Matt port bar it is then !

We'll be neighbors @Matt

[Matt]

We’ll get together for sure.

The last week has been utter chaos so I haven’t really been able to provide much in the way of updates in the move. It’s coming together finally though. I’ll bore you all with the saga details eventually.

Here are some randos for now…

Nice Matt. Lovely picture. I just live a little up the road from you. Harford county.

[SKT]

Place is looking nice and love those framed concert posters.

[pechelman]

are those powerlines as close as they look in that picture from the deck?

[steelworker]

Hey, @Matt you can see the jail from your house!

[Matt]

@yannis no shit? I had an apartment in Bel Air in 2000. I used to ride my bike up Harford Rd all the time.

[Matt]

@pechelman yes. It was mentioned in the home inspection. ️

[pechelman]

cool. Free power!

@Matt …you won’t need the kites:

[Brian]

Should wire it up like they do in Thailand on the islands it’s like the whole street uses one mains power line

[Matt]

We settled yesterday after a whirlwind fuckjob of a closing courtesy of the mortgage company. It’s now officially ours. Last night we waked to the bar around the corner for beers then we walked down the street to an ice cream shop all while the kids sat in their rooms with the dog. It was perfect.

[Matt]

I also went for a 5 mi run entirely along the water the other day. The breeze was blowing and it was about 70 F. So happy

[endo]

Great @Matt

[Matt]

New closet, same shit…

[goosehd]

@Matt The smell of salt in the air and the breeze off the ocean is cathartic for me. I'm glad that you're enjoying it and look forward to your adventures.

That does sound nice except Baltimore is on the Patapsco River. A lot of people think it’s an Atlantic harbor or even a Chesapeake Bay inlet but it’s actually a river. I certainly wouldn’t faultanyone for not knowing that.
